Healthcare Business Today (HBT) welcomes bylined article submissions year-round. You have two options for contributing:
- Submit your own article for free – See our guidelines below.
- Have us write it for you – For a flat fee of $375, we’ll interview you or your sources and craft the article on your behalf. Details below.
Due to the high volume of submissions we receive daily, we aim for a prompt review process—most articles are reviewed or published within 14 days.
To boost the visibility of your article (including home page placement and inclusion in our weekly email blast), consider our advertising opportunities. Visit our Advertising page to learn more.
For any questions, please contact Daniel Casciato, our managing editor.
Bylined Article Checklist
We accept these types of articles:
- Exclusive articles are those you submit to our Editorial team for publication only on HBT.
- Non-exclusive articles are those you submit to our Editorial team for publication on HBT that you’ve also posted or may post to other blogs or websites. Please let us know where the article was published before and if we have permission to re-post.
- Paid Interviews (see below)
Articles should be written in the third person unless the submission is an opinion piece approved by the editor.
Include a title (in title case) with your article submission, the author’s byline, a short bio (100 words or less), and a headshot. Headshots should be 75 dpi in resolution and 300 x 300 pixels, be in color, and .jpg or .png format.
Footnotes/Citations
Do not include footnotes or endnotes. We do not accept footnotes or endnotes and will not include them in published articles. Instead, all references must be hyperlinked within the body of the document. Submissions that do not follow this guideline may be returned for revision.
Links
You may include links to relevant resources and a link to your company in the bio at the end of the piece. Please note: We reserve the right to change or remove any links in the article at anytime. Links in the bio section will never be changed.
Please note: All links are converted to no-follow.
Promotional Content
Only articles that are educational and informative will be considered. While we appreciate cutting-edge articles on topics featuring new concepts, our readers wish to be educated, not sold.
Articles cannot be advertisements or promotional material or include excessive self-promotion unless they are paid promotional pieces.
Revisions
We reserve the right to make revisions or refuse individual articles once they have been submitted and reviewed.
Voice/Tone
A bylined article expresses your knowledge and insights. The purpose is to educate and/or update our readers on a specific issue or the latest trends in the healthcare industry.
HBT’s voice is friendly, informational, conversational, and straightforward. The audience should feel our site is trustworthy, educational, and welcoming.
Word Count
Articles should be at least 600 words, be educational and informative, and take a specific angle about something in the related field rather than an advertisement of an organization.
Editorial Interviews (Paid Service)
We offer a premium editorial interview service for those who want a professionally written feature based on a one-on-one phone interview. This service ensures your story is presented with clarity, polish, and impact—ideal for executives, entrepreneurs, and organizations looking to elevate their thought leadership.
Interview Fee: $375 per interview
This flat fee includes:
- Consideration for homepage placement and inclusion in our email newsletter
- A one-on-one phone interview
- A professionally written, publication-ready article (typically 800–1,000 words)
- Priority review and turnaround
- Two round of revisions, if needed
If you’d like to schedule an interview for yourself or a client, please contact us for more information.
Events
